The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed wide receiver Kevin Cone and tight end Taylor Sloat to their practice squad on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-2, 218-pound Cone originally entered the NFL as a college free agent with the Atlanta Falcons in 2011. The Georgia Tech product has spent the past three seasons (2011-13) with the Falcons, playing in 29 games with one reception for 12 yards, while also adding 10 special teams tackles. Cone has also played in one postseason game (2011).
The 6-3, 315-pound Sloat, a college free agent out of UC-Davis, took part in Tampa Bay’s rookie mini-camp this past offseason.
The Bucs also waived linebacker Carlos Fields and tight end Ian Thompson from their practice squad.
